LAWS OF HABIT.
The Desirability of Early Acquiring Fixed
Mpthods

The Desirability of Early Acquiring Fixed
Methods.
If the period between 90 and 80 is the
critical one in the formation of intellec-
tual and professional habits, says the
Popular Science Monthly, the period be
low 20 is more important still for the fix
ing of personal habits, properly so called,
such as vocalization and pronunciation,
gesture, motion and address. Hardly
ever is language learned after 20 spoken
without foreign account; hardly ever
can youth transferred to the society of
his betters unlearn the nasality and other
vices of speech bred in him by the as
sociations of his growing years. Hardly
ever, indeed, no matter how much money
there be in his pocket, can he even learn
to dress like gentleman-born. The
merchants offer their wares as eagerly to
him AS the veriest "swell, but the simply
can't buy the right things. An invisible
law, as strong as gravitation, keeps him
within his orbit arrayed this year as he
was the last; and how his aristocratic
acquaintance contrive to get the things
they wear will be for him a mystery till
his dying day.
The great thing, then, in all education
is to make automatic and habitual, as
early as possible, as many useful actions
az we can, and to guard against the grew
ing into ways that are likely to be disad
vantagious to us, as we should guard
against the plague. The more of the de
tails of our daily life we can hand over
to the invaluable anG effortless custody of
the automatism, the more our higher
powers of mind will be set FREQ for their
own proper work. There is no more
miserable human being than one in whom
nothing is habitual but indecision, and
for whom the lighting of every cigar, the
drinking of every cup, the time of rising
and going to bed every day, and the be
ginning of every bit of work are subjects
of express volitional deliberation. Full
half the time of such a man goes to the
deciding, or regretting, of matters which
ought TO have been so thoroughly ingram
ed in him As practically not TO exist foi
his con seriousness at all.
